Jennie Bond on Tenerife

Jennie Bond with Joe Cawley in Tenerife

Well, I wasn’t totally sure what to expect when I met Jennie Bond in Tenerife last Wednesday. I think I anticipated she’d be like the Queen but with attitude. As a hardened and professional journalist (her, not me), it’s always difficult coming up with questions that aren’t banal and that she’s answered a zillion times before, like “So is it true you never wear knickers?”

However, she was a real charmer. Perfectly at ease and conscious that as an interviewee it’s easier if she tries to get along with the interviewer rather than intimidate them. Which was nice. We were both also plied with champagne from the very nice people at Club La Costa Monterey. Which was even nicer.

We talked about her travel experiences, obscenities (she swears like a trooper), and her most memorable holiday to date. Guess what she said… Tenerife!

Yep, although it’s only her second time here, and she’s travelled pretty much all over the world with the Royal Family, here most memorable holiday was here on our rock. Can’t tell you the reasons why yet as I’m writing it up for the Daily Express, but suffice to say it’s a great boost for the island.

I’ll post the link to the interview when it’s published.

Have a very jolly weekend…

    We were on a Miller-Travel tour (Feb 2009)to La Gomera. We were collected at the pickup point Hotel Arona, Los Cristianos. On our return they dropped us off, in the sticks, somewhere between Los Cristianos and Playa Silencio, after I advised the guide that they had not returned us to the pickup point. The guide advised that we could get a bus or a taxi. I need to write to them for a refund. Do you know where their registered office is?
